Why does having a mobile app make a difference in your ecommerce? Keys by sector

Reskyt and App Commerce: beyond an app

At Reskyt we help ecommerce of all sizes to transform their mobile channel into a sales, loyalty and conversion engine. Our approach is not just to create an app, but to build a native, personalized and connected real-time shopping experience that drives results from day one.

Thanks to our UWT (Universal Wrapping Technology), we launch no-code native apps in less than 4 weeks, fully integrated with any ecommerce. And the best part: no technical equipment is required from the client.

Which sectors can benefit most from the app channel?

Each vertical has its own particularities, and that's precisely why the app can become the most effective channel to connect with your customers. We explain it below:

Fashion

In the fashion industry, where collections are constantly changing and the impulse to buy is emotional, the app allows:

  • Launch news via push notifications.
  • Offer personalized promotions by customer type.
  • Improve the checkout process with a persistent cart.

Visual experience and personalization are key to conversion.

Health and Beauty

In pharmacies and cosmetics stores, where repurchase is frequent, the app makes it easy:

  • Repeat orders with a single click.
  • Send purchase reminders.
  • Offer educational content or tutorials from the app.

This increases the retention rate and the average value per customer.

Footwear

The app enhances the footwear shopping experience by enabling:

  • Display products in high resolution.
  • Filter by available size and nearest store.
  • Receive stock alerts or promotions by saved model.

Sports

Sports clients are looking for agility, advice and availability. From an app you can:

  • Track purchase history and recommend related products.
  • Send notifications about launches or discounts by sport.
  • Create customized content for each segment of active users.

Home and Decoration

Inspiration is essential: an app provides visual catalogs, collections by room or style, and allows you to save favorites or create shopping lists to share.

Toys

In toy stores, the app allows segmentation by age, interests or time of year (Christmas, birthdays, back to school), sending recommendations or activating online reservations for in-store pick-up.

Pets

The app helps to manage recurring purchases (food, health, hygiene) in an easy way, and allows to offer personalized promotions according to the type of pet or its specific needs.

Feeding

Online supermarkets and gourmet stores can automate repurchase, offer quick shopping lists and activate geo-located discounts. The app reduces friction and speeds up ticketing.

Multisectorial

Companies that combine different categories (electronics, home, culture, etc.) need to segment the experience very well. An app can guide the customer, create intelligent recommendations and dynamize promotions by vertical.

Advantages of having an ecommerce app
Whatever your industry, a well-designed app connected in real time with your ecommerce can multiply your results.

Cross-cutting advantages of the ecommerce app

  • Higher conversion: the app converts more than the mobile web.
  • Recurrence: the customer bonds and repeats more.
  • Direct channel: no algorithms or third party costs.
  • Autonomy of the marketing team: no dependence on IT.
  • Personalization by profile: more impact with less cost.

Real-life example: the Bata success story

Bata, a brand of the AW LAB group, was looking for a scalable and agile solution to launch its app in different countries without incurring costly native development. In less than 60 days, with Reskyt, the app was up and running.

Among the noteworthy results:

  • ARPU 4-5 times higher for app users vs. mobile web users.
  • Duplicate conversion compared to other channels.
  • During its initial phase, the app generated 20% of total revenue without investment in advertising.

Thanks to our architecture, Bata was also ready to integrate omnichannel functionalities such as geo-location, loyalty cards or in-store scanning. An example of how an app can directly and tangibly impact the business from day one.
